Description

WHAT IF a hawker stall becomes a community node to facilitate a mutual-help network?

SITUATION/ The design team explores the potential of Pai Dong (hawker stall; 排檔) as a community hub. How could Pai Dong, a structure both commercial and communal, serve to open up a new commoning space for caring relationships and coordinate reciprocal services for the immediate neighbourhood?

PROCESS/ Operating twice-weekly a full-day Pai Dong at Canton Road for 6 months, this project re-connects pedestrians, hawkers, stores, and local residents by making visible the existing but hidden community resources and matching them to the needs of the surrounding neighbourhood. The design team co-curates with various stakeholders in the street, which cause a series of networking programmes: repair cafe, craft workshop, zine sale, street haircut, spring couplet writing, consignment service and so on
